Diamond supports MP4 and H264 videos

I have just tested and can confirm that Touch Diamond comes with native support for mp4 video or video encoded with H.264 codec. Playing back 640x480 30 fps video is smooth both in the HTC video player and the WM player.
Haven't tried on 720p or even 1080p HD video. Will try it when I can get a hold some HD video clips.

Could you tell us what was the bitrate of the video and if it was h264 baseline profile or main profile?

and converted by what software?

I will try a few more clips later this week and give details about bitate, codec, etc. I did one test this afternoon and found that H.264 is supported
As for the software, there is no conversion needed. the phone can play the video that is mp4, or encoded with H.264 natively.
BTW, the latest flash player 9 supports H.264 videos and I expect more and more flash video will be using H.264 in place of the previous On2VP6 or Sorensen Spark codec.

Camcorder on IceColdSandwich8.0 how to get a working camcorder for now ;p

hey guys, i was playing around with lg camera settings and i found a way to make it video record with the following options(****ty quality but at least its something for now)
video resolution: 800x400
video encoder default
video file format mpeg4
video bitrate 15mbit
video framerate 15
audio source micrphone
audio encoder default

Is it possible to change the video recording codec to HEVC or change the bitrates?

Is it possible to encode recorded videos using HEVC / H.265 codec or changing the video and audio bitrate of the videos? Some phones allow it with changes in the media_profiles.xml file, would it work for the Mi5 too? If so, is it ROM-dependent?

I've changed h264 to hevc in media_profiles.xml of JDCTeam AOSP 7.1.2 rom, but it doesn't work with stock camera app (change bitrate is work but codec doesn't). Use SnapDragonPRO camera instead stock camera app can recording video with HEVC code now.

Don't know about MIUI rom as I no longer use that bloatware rom a long time ago

Huawei P10 4k / HEVC / h.265 playback problems on Laptop / Desktop PC

Hey folks,
I am using a P10 (VTR-L09) with EMUI-Version 8.0.0 and Android Version 8.0.0. Due to the camera problems of the android 9 update (see other posts here) I am still using Android 8.0.0. In Android 9 Huawei is switching to h.264 for 4k Videos but the files are much bigger and due to the not working OIS the results are terrible.
I am using video in UHD 4k 16:9 stereo and the quality is great. Huawei is using h.265 codec and the file size is quite ok. On the phone the video playback is good working.
But I am facing the problem, that I am not able to play the videos on other devices than the P10. On my i7 with Windows 10 and VLC player, VLC is stopping after a few frames. It looks like the video is corrupted. Converting the files via VLC results in a video with the audio stream and a black screen. On others players the videos stops every second. Other 4k videos are played without any problems on this machine. A lot of editing programs are not able to load the videos (I've tried to convert them to an other format). So it seems to me that Huawei is using a special version of h.265 codec or the are having an error in creating the video files.
Does any body know what "special" version of h.265 /HEVC codec Huawei is using or what the reason could be?
I know that h.265 need hardware support but the i7 should be powerful enough to handle that.
Looking for your answer

HEVC Video Support?

Hello, I'm going to be upgrading from my Midnight Black Snapdragon S5 to the Ocean Blue 512GB Exynos Note9 and would like to know if it supports HEVC x265 video files (in .m4v & .mkv formats) ? I can play them on my PC via KMPlayer but would be great if the stock Video Player & Gallery on the Note9 support them as well so I wouldn't have to download MX Player instead. Any info is appreciated, thank you for reading
PS: Please quote my post when you reply as I don't check Note9 forums often (yet ).

I haven't used this feature but tried to answer your question on my Eyxnos Note 9
It seems to have the option to select hevc in video recording settings of standard camera app.
A short test video , recorded on Note 9 with hevc option enabled was playable in both native gallery app and MXplayer.
Both players seemed to confirm hevc encoding

I mainly would watch series in HEVC but if it plays recorded HEVC from the camera I don't see a reason not to play movies etc. Thanks for confirming

isint hevc just the encoding for the file container?
logically anything that has H.265 support can play it( which all modern players should be able to play/read)
btw file extensions(container) are almost meaningless eg: mkv, mv4,mp4 and dosent regulate if the actualy decoding is possible or not. they are just a name that allows the correct app to start and open the file. the header in the file probably is the important part.
